The hiss is gone using line-out. I guess this next question may be a bit off topic, but here goes: speaker-out is considerably louder at a given volume level than line-out. speaker-out also seems to have better quality bass. line-out however, seems to be much cleaner, lacking the hiss. So: What is the difference between line-out and speaker-out, specificly from a functional standpoint. Is line-out expected to be sent to an amplifier that will control bass/treble/vol? Is this why line-out is less responsive to bass/treble changes using "aumix" than speaker-out? Thanks, Bryan > > Hi, Bryan. > > I wanted to ask you what kernel/distribution/drivers you are using.
